WOLVERINE 3 has begun filming with Hugh Jackman, and looks to be heading in a new direction according to producer Simon Kinberg - one that looks like Old Man Logan.

Jackman is playing the stocky cigar-smoking superhero one last time, in a third, currently untitled, Wolverine movie.

During press interviews for X-Men: Apocalypse, the franchise’s producer Simon Kinberg confirmed a number of facts: “It’s a very radical, bold, different Wolverine than you’ve ever seen in any of these movies.”

When pushed as to whether the rumours of Patrick Stewart reprising his role as Professor X were true, Kinsberg said: “I’m not sure what I’m allowed to say about that.

"I will agree with you that Patrick Stewart was rumoured to be a part of that film. It takes place in the future, and as you and others have reported, it is an R-rated movie. It’s violent, it’s kind of like a western in its tone. It’s just a very cool, different film.”
